Gory Heart Video

My good friend Lily made this with her friend to celebrate the success of her bleeding heart cakes on Valentines Day!

Harrods Zombie Last Supper

So proud of Lily Vanilli who is launching in Harrods this week!!!! Cupcakes being sold  (pictured) in the food halls AND her book (based entirely around the concept of a Zombie eating cupcakes) in the stationary department. Now here comes the really good bit, a concept dreamt up with children in mind it could not be further away from EYHO!!! Ready?..

Between 1-2pm on 29th October in the Stationary Dept in Harrods there is a Zombie last supper to celebrate the launch of her book “A Zombie Ate My Cupcake” – lots of free cake samples handed out by zombies and you can have your picture take seated at the table having a dinner party with zombies too! If you have children and love cake (and are maybe a little guilt stricken by not sharing any of your grown up fucked up cakes from EYHO too) then this is not one to miss!

The official portraits!!!

Oooooo it’s like when they unveil the new portrait of the Queen, except this has not, and never will, involve Rolf Harris. You may have seen some of these already but here are the official Cake Britain, presented by the Mad Artists Tea Party, portraits taken by Nathan Pask. I can NOT wait until we can shoot Eat Your Heart Out. Bring that on ASAP!

Lily Vanilli gets dirty (with Ash)

Amazing new video from Ash which features Lily Vanilli, Curator of Cake for The Mad Artists Tea Party (and maker of all things wondrous) getting down and dirty with cake. Best of all the director of this video, Alex Turvey, will be working with Lily again for the MATP! Not fair I want to feed a lot of musicians a lot of cake!

The Mad Artists Tea Party – NEWS RELEASE

All of the art created will exist only temporarily & only in edible form in the medium of cake

OH MY GOD it all seems so real now as it is – Tate & Lyle are kindly supporting the project and it’s go go go. Amazing creative talents already involved with works of art & cake being planned which will blow your minds (clearly I did not write the release but want to post it unedited hence twattish referring to myself in third person).

PRESS RELEASE

THE MAD ARTISTS TEA PARTY

Miss Cakehead, of Cakehead Loves Evil, has teamed up with Tate & Lyle for the first ever Mad Artists Tea Party with Lily Vanilli as Curator of Cake. An original concept from Miss Cakehead, it will pair the World’s most creative cake makers with artists and creatives who want to ‘create with cake’ to produce one-off edible artworks for auction.

All of the art created for the tea parties will exist only temporarily, and only in edible form in the medium of cake. Artists confirmed include David A Smith, Stuart Semple, George Morton Clarke, Pete Fowler, Felt Mistress, stenSOUL, The Futureheads, FAUST and Alexander Turvey with cake-ists including the astonishingly talented food artist Prudence Staite, Bea’s of Bloomsbury, Michelle Wibowo, Crumbs & Doilies, Lily Vanilli & ‘Jellymongers’ Bompas & Parr.

Leading up to the event Miss Cakehead will be touring ‘Cake Britain’ with her edible cupcake tree – an art installation and creative consumer experience that will allow children to literally ‘pick’ their own cupcakes off the tree in a bizarre twist on traditional pick your own farms. The inspiration of the tree coming from The Faraway Tree series of books by Enid Blyton, a concept followed through as the cupcake tree will never ‘grow’ the same cakes twice.

Cake fans be afraid – The next Mad Artist Tea Party event has already been planned. Eat Your Heart Out will be the world’s first 18+ cake shop containing VERY horrifying & VERY extreme Halloween edibles.

Notes for editors:

• The event is being held at The Future Gallery in London the 27^th – 29^th August, following a ‘private eat’ on the Thursday 26^th August where key ‘works of cake’ will be auctioned off for charity.
• During the course of the exhibition a series of unique ‘cakey’ events will take place; from ultimate ‘rock cake classes’ (baking ACDC style) to a sing-a-long Busgy Malone screening complete with splurge guns. More information on booking for these events to be released soon.
• All profits from the event will go to charity, including We Make Peace which campaigns for Peace Education in Schools.

Cakeland

Firstly congratulations to Lily Vanilli for this nice post. Which in turn brings me onto Scott Hove’s Cakeland:

Cakeland is a series of sculptures and installations resembling perfect delicious cakes– wall mounted, hanging and standing– and walk-through cake environments complete with their own lighting.

The sculptures have all of the appeal of the best cake you have ever tasted, but can never be eaten. The nature of edible cake is fleeting, lasting only as long as the brief celebration it was made for. These cakes last as long as the artist or society have the wherewithal to preserve them.

Roadkill cake – yummy

This cake from Lily Vanilli is so fucked up – I do worry about how dark her mind is sometimes

This dead pigeon cake is Red Velvet w/cream cheese frosting, coconut and cherry sauce and walnut eyes. More pictures here…
